Lots of excitement today about the launch of the new Brazen Careerist social network for Generation Y job seekers. Sounds like they are trying to throw down the gauntlet in a “Brazen” challenge to two separate social networking juggernauts: Facebook and LinkedIn.

I could describe the mission of the new site, but maybe it’s best to let Penelope describe it in her own words:

Starting today, we are calling Brazen Careerist the career management tool for next-generation professionals. In the online career space where experienced professionals win, we’ve created a network that will help young professionals level the playing field. Instead of just a traditional résumé, at the core of the new Brazen Careerist profile is an idea-based feed that showcases your knowledge, opinions and thoughts. In other words: Your potential. We all know there are pools of new talent coming into the market, but no career site showcases the most critical thing that talent should be sharing: Ideas.

Very interesting stuff. Will the Brazen Careerist succeed in reaching its goals? Only time will tell. But I wouldn’t bet against them. At first glance, the site looks pretty slick.

So my plan is to take the new site for a spin and see what all of the hype is about. Once I’ve had a chance to become acquainted with the new service, I’ll put together a site review and go over all of my thoughts in detail.

For now, check out the new Brazen Careerist and let me know what you think!
